Dear Susan, It could be from the endo, what stage is your endo at ? that can
be very telling. I get the same discharge, but I am at stage 3 almost 4.
If I were you I would go back to your doctor. Also, getting pregnant will
not cure your endo, and it can sometimes be very difficult to fall pregnant
with endo,( I am lucky, I fell twice 3-4 months after my lap, so do not give
up.)
You will need good care during your pregnancy too.
I really can't stress how much I feel you should go back to your doctor,
take a list of questions and do not leave until he has answered them ALL.
You are paying for it after all.
Hope this helps
